Old guys lunch or dinner in SF

Four retired guys looking for places for a latish, 12:30-1:30, lunch and early, 5:00-6:00, dinner in San Francisco. Anywhere easily accessible by Muni, but extra points for east of Van Ness. Prefer European cuisines (we've already organized Asian) and prices per head less than $30 including a couple of beers and the tip. Quiet would be a big plus, our hearing isn't what it once was.

This stew is based on the savory rice porridge congee, which has roots in Chinese, Thai, and Korean cuisines. Though the dish uses some classic Asian ingredients—such as fish sauce, ginger, and bok choy—the flavors are not aggressively Asian.

Our beautiful Easter centerpiece bread offers a healthier take on the classic egg- and butter-enriched bread. It’s made completely with white whole-wheat flour and less added sugar (in this case, honey) than many traditional recipes.

For perfectly fried, mozzarella Arancini, dip a rice ball into flour and shake off any excess. Dip floured ball into egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finish by coating completely in breadcrumbs. Repeat.
